The automated service notifies registered individuals via email when a document is recorded under their name or business name in Sarasota County. This aims to alert property owners to suspicious activity, such as unauthorized deeds or mortgages, allowing them to investigate and act quickly.
The service became available on April 22, 2026. Residents can sign up on the Sarasota County Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Comptroller website.
Sarasota County Property Appraiser Bill Furst encourages residents to use the free service. The Fraud Alert system provides a defense against potential identity theft and property fraud.
